Dental Plaque Removal and Re-Accumulation: A Clinical Randomized Pilot Study Evaluating a Gel Dentifrice Containing 2.6% Edathamil.

Objectives: The goal of this clinical study was to determine the effects of a dental gel containing 2.6% edathamil on overnight plaque re-accumulation and plaque removal.

Methods: In this double-blind, randomized crossover study, 10 subjects first brushed for one week with a washout toothpaste.

A Double-Blinded, Randomized Study Evaluating the In Vivo Effects of a Novel Dental Gel on Enamel Surface Microstructure and Microhardness.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of a 2.6% edathamil gel (Livionex® Dental Gel) on surface microhardness and microstructure in 180 pre-eroded enamel chips.

Methods: This was a double-blind, randomized study.

Effects of A Novel Disc Formulation on Dry Mouth Symptoms and Enamel Remineralization in Patients With Hyposalivation: An Study.

Background: The goal of this study was to identify the effects in patients with hyposalivation of a novel slowly dissolving adhering test disc upon on enamel remineralization, oral biofilm, salivary production, pH and buffering, gingival health, and on self-evaluation of oral well-being.

Methods: Five subjects with xerostomia wore custom made retainers carrying 5 demineralized enamel chips for periods of 1 week each. In 1 study arm, subjects used the test agent plus oral hygiene self-care; in the other they used oral hygiene self-care only, with a 1 week washout in between arms.

Effects of a Novel Dental Gel on Enamel Surface Recovery from Acid Challenge.

Background: Objective was to evaluate the effects of a novel dental gel (Livionex gel) vs. a comparison dental gel on the surfaces of pre-eroded enamel chips.

Methods: On days 1-5, after toothbrushing with dentifrice, nine subjects each wore 8 enamel chips mounted on a palatal appliance for 4 h.
